Question 1

sir my right temple side hurts badly when i drink alcohol two beer or 2or 3 peg why ? iam 25 yrs old

Accepted Answer

Unusual: This is an unusual symptom secondary to alcohol intake.   With what I know I would suspect it could be a sensitivity to alcohol which manifests itself by a disturbance in  an energy field called yang oe in chinese medicine.  Of course this is only a guess and more history and possibly an exam would help.   Obviously,  best to avoid alcohol or peg, whatever that is.

Question 2

why does my back hurt when i drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: but the fact that you have kept drinking despite the fact that your back hurts when you drink tells me that I should be concerned that you may have an alcohol problem. It could be inflammation of your pancreas, stomach, duodenum or a problem with your gallbladder. I strongly suggest STOPPING drinking until you get a diagnosis, and see your doctor for a full evaluation.

Question 3

why does my left breast hurt when i drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

GI reflus: It could be a cardiac reason and you should go to ER OR IT could be GI S.sx of acid reflux

Question 4

why do my legs hurt when i drink alcohol? sometimes when i have a drink of alcohol, i get a severe ache in my legs that lasts about 3-6 minutes.

Accepted Answer

You : You may be dealing with something as simple as dehydration and/or vitamin deficiency, most likely potassium. I recommend you stay hydrated(with water or gatorade), especially before drinking alcohol. Also try taking a daily multivitamin. 
When the ache occurs try eating a banana or drink some coconut water, both are high in potassium, and may help alleviate your symptoms.
You may also consider scheduling your annual history and physical with your doctor,  in order to assure you are not suffering from any underlying illnesses.

Question 5

my head hurts when i drink alcohol, why?

Accepted Answer

Blood vessel dilated: alcohol both directly and via a metabolite causes blood vessels to dilate, particularly in skin but also in the brain. The metabolite that does this, acetaldehyde, is poorly metabolized by some people, who tend to get both skin flushing and headaches, and even dizziness and fainting from low blood pressure. This is more common in Asians and Native Americans, but can occur in others. Stop drinking.

Question 6

why do my ovaries hurt after i drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Are you sure?: There is no physiologic explanation for ovarian pain related to consumption of alcohol.  My best guess is that this related to some other source of pain (such as your bowels) that is confused with pain from your ovaries.

Question 7

why do my bones hurt so much after i drink alcohol ?

Accepted Answer

How much are you: Drinking?  Diffuse muscle and bone aches can be seen with severe hangover after very heavy drinking.  Alcohol can cause muscle inflammation (myositis) which can feel like bone pain. Alcohol can reduce vitamin d and calcium absorption and cause an increase in bone fractures with injury.  You need to consider reducing alcohol intake and seeing your doctor for an evaluation.

Question 8

how come every time i drink alcohol my stomach hurts?

Accepted Answer

And yet you keep: drinking?  Hmmmm, wonder what that means.  Alcohol burns any mucosal surface you put it on - if you have ever put rubbing alcohol on a cut and it burns like crazy, that is what ethyl alcohol is also potentially doing to your stomach - causes esophagitis, gastritis and duodenitis and can worsen ulcers as well.  It also can inflame the liver and pancreas. STOP DRINKING and see your doctor for eval.

Question 9

why does my stomach hurt so bad after i drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Alcoholic gastritis: Alcohol is quite an irritant to the stomach lining. It also increases acid production in the stomach. Try to refrain from any alcohol and give your stomach a rest.

Question 10

will i hurt myself if i drink alcohol while i'm taking zoloft (sertraline)?

Accepted Answer

No: Zoloft, or sertraline, is an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medicine that works on the brain chemical serotonin. In general if you have problems with depression or anxiety, alcohol is likely to worsen your symptoms and make medications like sertraline less effective. So it doesn't hurt you, it just decreases or eliminates the effectiveness of your medicine.
